Thinking it's time to get one to go with my 10/22 takedown and x22 stock. Thinking general fun, plinking, and go to varmint gun.
Anyone have one, modded and built one out? Thoughts?

I have one in 40 S&W, fun gun to shoot especially with sub-sonic handloads & suppressed. It is a heavy rifle, compared to my Kel-Tec Sub 2k carbine.
The only upgrades that I've done are a Red dot and the Volquartzen trigger pack. Its a pretty accurate gun, but I still like the Sub 2k better.

Paul Harrell's review convinced me to get a Cx4 instead and I'm glad I did.

I would never buy one so long as sub 2000s are available.

What is it about the sub 2000 that you prefer?

I finally got a 10/22 with the magpul x22 stock and absolutely love it
Especially after some playing with it, trigger, reddit, and cerakoting.
From what I've read the pc carbine is basically as scaled up 10/22. Looks like you can store 2 or 3glock mags in the stock, and lock the barell in. Perfect for the farm and plinking, varmints, or toss in the work blvan and a lunch break at the range.

Had 1 in .40, it was a jammomatic

Had 1 in 9mm, ran perfectly

Ideally, Ruger at some point would pull their head out of their Azz and make 1 in 10mm

Thats my review

Handled one recently. To me, they are kinda goofy. Reminded me of a FNAR but a PCC. For me, a PCC is more if a pistol grip gun like a Scorpion, Stribog, B&T, or Mp5. So the Ruger just felt like the FNAR of PCCs. Awkward and much better options.

Same. I went the S2K route because it folds, is less bulky, and looks better in my opinion.

I had a mag carrier 3D printed for mine that holds a Glock 32 round magazine.[Linked Image][Linked Image]

I wanted one until a friend bought one and had to send it back to Ruger twice because the trigger kept failing to reset. On the third trip back they let him choose a replacement so he got a new Mini14 that he’s happy with.

I love my PC9. Besides my 22s, it’s my favorite gun to shoot. 100% reliable, accurate and fast.

no problem out of mine. Red Dot set at 50 yards and my whole family can put em all in a 3" circle using a bi-pod. Shooting steel at shorter ranges is just plain cheatin, LOL.

I downloaded program files from thingiverse. Doubt they are still available since they are for firearm "parts". I can email them. I responded to your PM. JawsTec did the printing.

I’m leaning towards a setup like what Doc has going on. Pretty sharp looking.

I don’t hate the Scorpion, but I also don’t love it.

I saw that the Scorpion is on rebate right now and Grabagun or Classic Firearms has the "3 Micro" for right around $650.
